Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Scranton real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Year-over-year, Scranton’s home values are holding steady, with a typical home value of about $200,000 showing 0% change. At the same time, the surrounding Lackawanna County has climbed to roughly $253,000, up 7.66% over the past year. Buyer activity has cooled compared to last year, with pending sales down 46.15% and new listings down 44.32%.
In February 2026, sellers listed homes around a median of $225,000, while buyers saw properties spend about 34 days on the market. Conditions still lean toward sellers, with only 2.8 months of supply and an average sale-to-list ratio near 0.96, even though about 29% of listings took a price drop and roughly 22.5% sold above asking.
Momentum heading into March 2026 points to slightly softer pricing and tighter supply, with the projected median list price easing to about $222,500 and inventory edging down to roughly 104 homes. With inventory already 20.29% lower than a year ago and down 9.84% from last month, both pricing and selection can feel different from one listing to the next. Buyers looking for value and sellers aiming to price correctly in Scranton can both benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding a local real estate agent who understands these trends.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
